There was a young man
From Cork who got limericks
And haikus confused

(Anon. c. 2011)

@craigbuchanan There was a sick man
with contused who got limericks
And haikus confused?
@craigbuchanan
There once was an incomplete limerick.

@benjaminwittes @craigbuchanan

There once was an X of class B
Who satisfied predicate P.
He or she did thing A
In an adjective way,
Resulting in circumstance C.

(At least that's how I remember it.)

@craigbuchanan Nice!

I once tried to write
A haiku but enjambment
Ruined it right through.

So a Limrick was
Writt'n that it would all fit'n, one
poem then became two!

@craigbuchanan There once was a prick
who thought it'd be quite chic
to write a haiku
or maybe a renga, too
but always handed in a Limerick

There was an old man
From Peru, whose limericks
All looked like haiku

He said with a laugh
"Cut them in half, the pay is
Much better for two."

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Some poems rhyme,
This one doesn't.

@ACAElliott @craigbuchanan And a nice example how art relies on social and cultural context!

There once was a poet names Stan.
Whose poetry just wouldn’t scan.
When asked why this was,
He said, β€œIt’s because
I always try to fit in as many syllables into the last line as I possibly can.”

@craigbuchanan - The clerihew
Was invented by you-know-who.
Yes you do, that's his name.
It's the same.

(Me, decades ago)

@craigbuchanan Thank you! The perfect note of humor I was looking for.πŸ’•
@craigbuchanan
I can't write haiku
Because I can't count
To higher than five
